Maritime training expert Gordon Meadow has a simple message for seafarers as autonomous systems change the way shipping operates.
The chief executive and founder of SeaBot XR told TradeWinds that skilled mariners will always be needed.
He said: “The key message is the human being, the seafarer, sits at the centre of autonomous systems. That’s absolutely crucial.”
Meadow believes the great irony of autonomy is that “it’s all about the people”.
